catchment area

The city’s most in-demand state schools are in catchment areas with significant numbers of children who attend private schools.

The Indian external affairs ministry was forced to issue a statement denying this, explaining that the floods had been caused by heavy rains in the catchment areas of the Gumti river.

Each overflow point is part of a larger network, or catchment area, and rain further away can take time to reach the overflow point.

This allowed it to estimate the number of people in the Windermere catchment area at any given time.

Before the appeals process started, 42 children across the Fitzalan High School catchment area did not have a place for September.
